Memorizing essays is a great way to tackle exams, enrich presentations, and expand your knowledge. If you want to memorize a passage verbatim, break it up into sections and memorize a little at a time.


There are also memory techniques that can help you recall relevant content quickly, such as visualizations or using physical cues.


Of course, sometimes you don't need to memorize so precisely, it is more useful to memorize the main points of the article or some important sentences.


Make a plan. Plan how long you will spend reciting this essays. If you have more time, you can take 20 to 30 minutes a day to memorize it. If you only have a day or two, you can memorize for thirty minutes, take an hour or two off before continuing.


Recite a little bit every day. Start reciting as early as possible. Memorize a paragraph or page every day. Do one part a day. After you have memorized the two parts, try to memorize them together.


Divide the article into sections. It's easiest to remember when it's broken down into small parts. You can break the article into smaller sections. Depending on the length of the article, each section may contain a few sentences, a paragraph, or a page.


Begin by reading the article aloud. Reading aloud is important because then you have to read and read each word in the text carefully, which can improve memory.


Take the self-test after reading. After you've studied for a while, you can put the book down and try to recite what you remember. You may not remember much at first, but with each practice you will be able to recall more and more.


If it doesn't go well from the top, start from the end. If the article is long, it may be easier to memorize it from the end. Memorize the last sentence or paragraph of text first, and then the second-to-last sentence or second-to-last paragraph.


Here are a few more memorization methods for your reference:


1. Copying method


"Copying once is better than reading ten times." When reading a poem or essay, read a sentence first and copy a sentence; then read a few sentences and copy a few sentences; and finally read a paragraph, until you read an article and copy an article, also read first and then copy, and then read after copying .


2. Time and space method


Remember the words in the content to be recited that express the order of the time position, and use the time position words to remind yourself of the content of the next paragraph.


3. Character Law


Remember several characters that appear in sequence (or classification) in the article, so that people's thoughts and words can be recalled, which is helpful for understanding and reciting.


4. Outline method


Make a simple outline based on what you have recited, and then practice reciting according to the outline.


5. Scenario method


Create specific situations to make it easier to understand and remember content. Especially beautiful poetry and prose, use this method better. You can draw multiple pictures, according to the memory of the pictures, combine pictures and texts, and quickly and interestingly borrow pictures into chanting.
